To all whom it may concern: I

"described and claimed. a

An object of the invention is to provide a f Be it known that I, CRAWFORD. EASTER- LING, a citizenof the United States, residing at Plant City, in the county of 'Hillsboro and State of Florida, fha've invented-new and useful; Improvements in,Plow-Stocks, of

which the'following is a specification. V .This invention relatesfto plow stocks and it consists inthe novel features hereinafter iplowstoek of simplestructure together with means for permittingithe,standard to be ad:

justed with relation to the beam andiimeans for 'eflectually holding, the standard at an Qadjusted position which means does not in- I elude threaded bolts-and nuts which are obj actionable for the reason that the said parts when rusted are' ditficult to manipulate.

VViththe above object in view'the invention consists of U-shaped members attached .to the opposite sides of the beam, and front A xand rear standards pivotally connected with the said U-shaped members. A bar connects the lower ends of the front and rear stand-' ards together and a bar connects the intermediate portions of thesaid. standards to gether; A key bolt is adapted to be passed through the intermediate portions ofv the said U-shapedmemb'ers and through the uppermost bar and serves as means for hold ing the parts injproper position.

The accompanying drawing: Figure l is a perspectiveview ot the plow stock. 'Fi 2 is a side elevation of parts of the stock with portions broken away.

standard 6 is similarly attached with the rear end portions of-the sald Ushaped memstandard 5 and is pivotally connected at its at its forward end with the intermediate portion of the forward standard 5and is .the openings L in the intermedaiteportions f U-shaped members 3. A key bolt 10 is adapted tolbe passedtransversely through the openings 4 andany one of theopenings 9 which may be in register with the same i l A and the said key bolt is secured in the 'said opening by means of a cotter pin ll which s passed transversely through the said'bolt 1n the usual manner and positioned therein the ends thereotare spread. Thereforeit will be seen that the standards and 6 may be readily adjusted with relation tothe beam 1 by removing the key bolt 10 fro-m'the openings 4 a'ndj9 and swinging the said standards whereby thebar 8 is'movedlongitudinally between thefintermediate portions of the U- shaped members 3. "When; the parts areat' the desired positions the keybolt 10 v is reinserted in the openings 4: and 9'an'd consequently the parts are securely held at the adjusted positions.

Having described at invention what is claimed is:

1. A plow stock comprising a beam, ap}

proximately U-shaped members attached to 5 the opposite sides of the beam and provided attheir intermediate portions with openings,

standards pivotallymounted at the forward and rear ends of the said U-shaped members,
